    One of those tunes that is so ubiquitous that you can become almost desensitised to it, I’ve heard it so many times I barely react when it comes on but after a few seconds I’m quickly reminded why Papua New Guinea became such an enduring classic in the first place, an absolute masterclass of a tune.

    What I would give to hear it for the first time again.

      An all-time chill out classic. Perhaps, thee all time chill out classic. IMO better then Little Fluffy Clouds. None of the remixes do much to the original. The Graham Massey and Weatherall version make the track their own but it's really hard to improve on the simple and short original. The ideal desert track. A track that transcends time and electronic music. Legendary

            Says this was very limited back in 1991. Does anyone actually know how many were pressed?

                I wonder if CXXs slap head had an influence on papa New Guinea.

                  I've got a hologram CD version of this, with 8 mixes on it. Can't seem to find it on here. 1996 hypnotic CLP9743-2 on the spine/edge.

                      I used to sell rare dance records online for a living until discogs dispelled the myth of rarity whilst simultaneously making other rare records even more expensive.early on,around 2000/2001 I bought a collection of records from a guy from Glasgow who told me about the first time he ever heard Papua New Guinea.he said the entire population of the club just swarmed the decks to find out the name of this tune which seemed to come from the very heavens themself.
                      He said 'nobody had heard anything like it,it was as if the roof had been blown off and the sky had opened and let in the cosmos'....'life would never be the same'
